BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: Baldwin County’s farming heritage has deep roots in its history, dating back to the early 19th century when the fertile lands of the area began to be cultivated for crops and livestock. Over the years, the agricultural industry not only provided sustenance for families but also played a pivotal role in shaping the community's identity and economy. As we celebrated National Farmers Day on October 12, we recognized the invaluable contributions of our farmers, whose hard work and dedication helped mold Baldwin County into a thriving hub of agriculture. This enduring legacy continues to influence our local culture and foster a strong sense of community, reminding us of the vital role that farming has played in our lives. The Olde Time Days Event served as a heartfelt tribute to this rich heritage and the importance of agriculture in our community.
